Fusion 360 is a fully integrated computer aided design, engineering, and manufacturing program. A single program, that is free for non-commercial use, can bring you from an idea, to a real part in your hands.
You begin by creating 3-D shapes using Solid, Parametric, Surface, or Free-Form modeling. Any of which can be rapidly edited and revised until your model matches your idea exactly!
Once the 3-D model is made Fusion 360 can create:
- Photo Realistic Renderings-for marketing and evaluations
- G-Code/Files-to control 3D Printers, CNC Milling Machines, and countless other rapid prototyping tools
- Advanced Finite Element Simulations- to ensure your part can withstand loads without breaking
- Mechanically Accurate Animations- to show how your design functions
- 2-D Detail Drawings- to provide manufactures and co-workers with all the important information at a glance
- Assemblies – Combine multiple parts to create finished products
